And of course the pretty good i3 documentation:

Thank you xalius, nmtui  was the answer. It is built in to the PineBook image and works great, not sure why I didn't think of that.

I had watched the videos on i3wm.org , but those youtube ones are much more detailed.

I have installed i3 to the emmc and wireless is working fine. Now for some tweaking . . . FireFox is much slower than it was in Mate which is surprising, so I will be going thru that guide I saw here the other day and see if I can make it a little zippier. Next up will be to see if I can make the "No Battery" indicator actually work, I am sure that will take some manpage reading.
